This partnership will hopefully expedite the establishment of a spaceport at Prestwick
aka we're f***ed unless the US Government pays for it.
UK Government cancelled the UK Spaceport competition in May, the day after Prestwick trumpeted the launch of its great hope, Orbital Access Ltd
Ironically Orbital Access's blurb makes clear that its main proposal is for a DC10-based launcher that can deploy to wherever the customer wants to launch from.
